Cleomaceae: diversity and potential of a model family for studies on the evolution of photosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 6-17, January 2026.
The Cleomaceae family integrates floral diversity, physiological plasticity, and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, serving as an important model to investigate plant adaptation and evolutionary innovation. Abstract Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which plants adapt to environmental factors is essential for improving crop ...

Late-acting self-incompatibility and a narrow floral tube as underlying stylar dimorphism in Narcissus (Amaryllidaceae)

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Most heterostylous species show self- and intra-morph incompatibility and models established for such taxa have traditionally been applied to the evolution of stylar dimorphism and heterostyly in Narcissus, a genus with late-acting self-incompatibility ...

Three-dimensional reciprocity of floral morphs in wild flax (Linum suffruticosum): a new twist on heterostyly

, 2006
• Here, we studied the floral morphology and pollination of the distylous plant Linum suffruticosum (Linaceae) in southern Spain.• We observed a previously unreported form of distyly that involved twisting and bending of styles and stamens during floral ...

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Self‐Compatible Turnera Mutants Suggests Glutathione S‐Transferase 8 Is Involved in Overcoming S‐Morph Female Self‐Incompatibility Response

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Distyly is a reproductive system, characterized by the presence of two floral morphs, which promotes outcrossing via physical and biochemical means. In distylous Turnera, the mating type of the S‐morph is determined by two genes: YUC6 (male) and BAHD (female).

Deconstructing heterostyly: The evolutionary role of incompatibility system, pollinators, and floral architecture. Evolution 67 [PDF]

, 2013
Darwin's early work on heterostyly and related style polymorphisms (the presence of two or three style morphs within a population) generated much interest to understand how precise interactions between ecological and genetic mechanisms influence the

The structure and allelic diversity of the self‐incompatibility locus (S‐locus) in diploid potatoes inferred from genome sequences and transcriptome data from styles and pollen

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Gametophytic self‐incompatibility (GSI) is a reproductive strategy to prevent inbreeding and promote outcrossing. Studies to understand molecular and evolutionary aspects of the self‐compatibility (SC)/self‐incompatibility (SI) system in the Solanaceae have been conducted using several genera including Petunia Juss., Nicotiana L., and Solanum ...

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2199-2216, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Reproductive systems of Hohenbergia Schult. & Schult.f. (Bromelioideae: Bromeliaceae) endemic to the Atlantic forest

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which
